Dark Souls Players Are Flooding Back To The Original Game Right Now

It's been almost five years since the release of Dark Souls, and most people have moved onto other games. But a group of hardcore fans aren't letting the game die without a fight, resulting in today's Global Restart Day.
The idea began on the Dark Souls subreddit, which recently passed a 100,000 subscribers milestone. Global Restart Day is meant to celebrate that, "all in hopes of making the game as lively as when it was in its prime!"

Dark Souls isn't the same experience without other people, so if you've been looking for a reason to jump in and play, now's a good time. The idea behind Global Restart Day isn't to only play today; it's to start another playthrough, engage in jolly cooperation and celebrate a modern classic.

Aw fuck, I'm still actually playing through the game for the first time ever myself, actually. And I HATE the online features. I'm not some naive noob who believes the crap about "jolly cooperation", I'm fully aware that the only thing that awaits you if you go human (something you HAVE to do even to kindle bonfires for some stupid reason, even if it's only to get more Estus charges in PvE) is invaders swarming into your world to wreck your shit with abusive Giantdad builds because fucking with people is their sole reason for living. It's why I DREAD ever having to go human- the very first time I did, to kindle the first bonfire in Undead Parish, I IMMEDIATELY got invaded and killed.
